43 per cent in amounts actually paid through
banks in six months throughout the country,
while the increase in values destroyed by fire
has been not "a per cent What conceivable
ground is there for attributing the increased
less by fire to any new and alarming cause
Had exactly the same proportion OF all prop
erty in progress from producers to consumers
been destroyed in each year. the loss would
have been 40 per cent greater this year than
in 1885, and the recorded fires therefore
represent smaller proportion OF the prop
erty exposed.
Some fire insurance companies have been
doing risky business and appear to be in
peril. Competing with each other beyond
reason, and reducing premiums so far that
only an enormous increase in risk could Sc
cure them profit, they have taken enormously
increased risks. Whether they were wise or

Terrible Fight Between Snakes.

Philadelphia Telegraph: There was
q scene of terrible excitement and dam
ger in the snake house at the Zoo this
morning, and the twenty-tive-foot deer
swallowing anaconda from the wilds of
South America, who had just celebrated
his semi-centennial, has yielded up the
ghost and is no more. The anaconda
has been fellow occupant with two In
dian pythons of u twenty-foot cage in
the snake house. Being ten feet
longer and a little bigger in his
atcs, who were only fifteen feet long,
ten inches in diameter, twenty-fivey years
old and worth $500 apiece, while his
age was fifty, his girth forty-eight
inches, his weight l25 pounds and his
value $500, he was sleepy, vicious and
arrogant. Besides that he had an in
dividual bath tub, for he will only kill
and eat his food when in the water. The
anaconda did not eat the first year he
was at the Zoo, and during the last few
months he has taken his meals with
provoking irregularity. But yesterday
his appetite surged in upon him, and he
got away with five ducks, and last night,
before the keeper put the cover over
his tub, he absorbed two more.
The pythons were served with brace
Of rabbits and an entree of birds, and
were left to their rcpose by Keeper
Thompson. 1t is the nature Of the sleek
python to abhOr repose SO long as he
can worry anybody, and, it being the
time of festival and patriotic demOnstra-
tion, he arOse-this is metaphor-and
went over to the bath tub and showed
the board off the anaconda, and proba-
bly, did it with a full consciousness of
his responsibility. Keeper Thompson
was in a back room preparing breakfast
for the other snakes who have a more
delicate appetite than constructors, when
peculiar swish and rumble reached his
ears. The moment he looked in at the
door he was startled by huge, squirm-
ing, Kissing ball of snakes rolling
around, for the anaconda, resenting the
impudence of the python in looking
into his private bath, had got out and
gone for him, with the logical result OF
involving the second python. There
they were, coiled tightly together in a
ball, and squirming over the floor, He
called to Head-keeper Byrne, who
summoned Keeper Harrison, the Her
cules, who manipulates the grizzlies in
the bear pit. Keeper Byrne under
stands the snake nature. He knows
that if you want to uncoil him
and not by the head, because the
tail is the most sensitive part OF his
being. He went into the cage and man
aged to extract one Of the pythons from
the mass and sling il into corner. Har'
rison then came to his assistance tC
straighten out the convolutions OF The
anaconda and the remaining python
who were twisted together like the
strands OF rope. This was necessary
to save the anaconda, who, although he
had ten feet more of length and, fifty
pounds OF weight than his neighbol
from India, was yet gradually losing his
wind. Besides all that the python had
his fangs set firmly in his head. -.
While thus engaged no attention was
paid to the third snake that had been
thrown in the corner. Tiring of his in
activity when SO much was going ON he

moved in the direction OF the head
keeper. Thompson, who had been on
guard ut the door OF the cage. stepped
in to head him of. The python
drew his head back aud with u
lightning dart struck him in the thigh,
where he fastened his fangs and in q
twinkling threw three coils around tho
keepers legs. The head keeper and
Harrison dropped their struggle with,
the anaconda and his foe and came To
the relief of Thompson. Harrison
caught tho python by tho tail and tho
reptile loosened his fangs to resent tho
interference, when Byrne caught him
by the head and between them they un-
twisted him and liberated Thompson.
1t was necessary to quarantine the
python while Byrne and Harrison went
u second time TO tho relief Of the $500
anaconda, and to successfully quarantine
him Harrison, who is n very powerful
man, caught him by the tail and made
him describe circles in the air while tho
relief uarty was Mt work. When the
anaconda was liberated he was taken
out Of the cage. Harrison dropped his
snake and the men emerged and closed
the gate.
The two pythons had picnic. but
they were not satisfied, and they darted
vengefully against the bars. The ANA
conda was Knocked out, and the head
keeper and his assistants picked him up
as sailors pick up heavy rope cable
and carried him to the hospital. He
was given warm bath and such stimu.
lants as would revive him from his
moribund condition, but he would not
revive, and at half past 10 o'clock ho
passed TRANQUILITY away, and the Smith
sonian institution ut Washington will
get his skin.
Keeper Thompson has sharp, sting
ing wound on his thigh, but is safe,
because the python is of the constructor
species and not poisonous. At the same
time he has expressed his indisposition
to meet another python when he has
got his dander up.

Thomas CARLYLE,

the great Scotch author, suffered all his
life with dyspepsia, which made his own
life miserable and caused his best and
truest friends not little pain, because
of his fretfulness. Dyspepsia generally
arises from disease of tho liver, and as
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry" cures all diseases of this great
gland, it follows that while all cannot
be Carlyles, even with dyspepsia, all
can be free from the malady while emu

Philadelphia Record: 1t is a some
what novel proceeding to establish a
chair of Rabbinical lityratare in an
Episcopal college, but Columbia, New
York city, has just done this. Perhaps
it was with remembrance that old He
brew merchants in this city gave liber-
ally to the building of the first Trinity
church. and afterward to Columbia coll
lcge, from which many Jewish
students belonging to old families grad
uated. The new Rabbinical professor is
DR.. Richard Gottheil, son of DR.. Gott-
he'll, the rabbi of Temple EmanuEl.
The trustees of the Temple insure
salary of $1,000 year, and if the re-
suit of the work accomplished shall
prove satisfactory the gentlemen who
have thus opened their purses propose
to make the endowment perpetual.
President Barnard and Professor Cot
theil are to select the subjects for lec-
lures, and nothing denominational will
enter into them. This is one of many
steps taken toward making Columbia
college university.
